I used the book to prepare for my first open water 2,000 metre race off the beach last year. Its well written, interesting, full of tips and easy to read - it certainly helped me become a better and more confident open water swimming and would recommend it to all us amateur open water enthusiasts!

I am a distance ocean swimmer and found the book to be very helpful. Penny Dean is a legend in Channel Swimming and writes from experience. I used many of her training recommendations in preparing for the Catalina Channel and am using it again in my preparation for the English Channel. This book is very well regarded by multiple friends who are Channel Swimmers. I think highly enough of the book to be buying a second copy because my original copy was loaned to someone who has not yet returned it.

Although I thought the book to be well written and interesting, it offers minimal techniques and workouts for the triathlete. Not being a long distance swimmer, I can not judge the book from that point of view.
